WHEN  the  disciples  of  Jesus  asked,  "What  must 
we  do  that  we  may  work  the  works  of  God?" 
all  the  reply  that  Jesus  gave  was,  "Believe,"  and  this 
was  the  substance  of  all  his  instruction.  Set  your 
thoughts  in  a  certain  direction;  make  your  mind  to 
hold  thoughts  that  believe  in  the  Good  as  possible. 
That  is  all  that  is  necessary  for  us  to  do  to  increase  our 
behef ,  to  extend  the  boundaries  of  what  we  believe  to  be 
possible. 

All  that  we  are  now  is  the  result  of  our  believing; 
every  action  and  word  shows  forth  what  we  have  been 
believing,  and  are  now  holding  in  mind. 

When  you  life  down  at  night  you  believe  you  will  arise 
in  the  morning;   when  you  walk,  every  step  you  take

you  do  'S6 'tilWiXgb  tKe  exercise  of  faith,  believing  that 
you  will  be  supported:  so  all  things  that  you  do  are 
simply  pictures  of  your  faith,  or  what  you  are  believ- 
ing in. 

Your  powers  of  believing  are  exercised  in  three  ways : 
by  thinking,  by  speaking,  by  doing.  Thought  is  the 
causative  power,  words  and  deeds  are  the  fruit  of  your 
thinking. 

Keep  the  thoughts  upon  believing  in  the  Good,  and 
your  words  and  deeds  will  conform  to  your  thoughts. 
These  should  be  one  and  the  same  always.  It  is  not 
enough  to  think  aright,  but  also  we  must  speak  aright, 
and  act  aright.  When  you  are  trying  to  believe  in  the 
reality  of  the  presence  of  your  desire,  do  not  let  the 
lips  speak  as  though  there  were  any  other  presence  than 
Good.  See  that  all  your  words  and  deeds  are  consistent 
with  your  thoughts. 

/^  "  What  things  soever  ye  desire,  when  ye  pray,  believe^ 
that  ye  receive  them."  / 

What  things  soever/  That  is,  it  makes  no  difference 
for  what  you  ask;  if  you  will  believe,  you  shall  receive. 


N

But  if  you  are  doubting  in  your  heart  as  to  whether 
God  is  willing  you  should  receive,  then  indeed  you  will 
not  receive.  Have  no  doubt  in  your  mind  of  God's 
wilUngness  to  give  you  any  good  thing  that  you  would 
give  yourself.  Jesus  taught  us  to  think  that  God  is  just 
as  willing  to  give  us  good  gifts  as  is  any  earthly  father. 
If  you,  as  a  child,  were  asking  yourself,  as  a  father,  for 
any  good  thing,  and  the  father  in  you  would  be  willing 
to  grant  you  that  which  you  ask,  then  you  must  also 
think  God  is  wilhng  to  give  you  what  you  desire.  Can- 
not the  same  power  that  grants  you  your  wish  protect 
you  from  any  evil  that  might  seem  to  come  through  re- 
ceiving the  good  you  desire?  Have  no  doubt  of  any 
kind  in  the  heart,  no  doubt  of  the  reasonableness  of  your 
request  or  whether  it  is  good  in  God's  eyes,  no  doubt  of 
God's  willingness  to  give — "  for  verily  I  say  unto  you, 
That  whosoever  shall  say  unto  this  mountain.  Be  thou 
removed,  and  be  thou  cast  into  the  sea;  and  shall  not 
doubt  in  his  heart,  but  shall  believe  that  those  things 
which  he  saith  shall  come  to  pass;  he  shall  have  what- 
soever he  saith."

Our  faith  must  be  such  that  it  cannot  be  moved  by 
appearances,  and  it  must  persist  when  impossibilities 
seem  to  face  us.  (^'Lord,  I  believe;  help  thou  my  un- 
belief "  is  our  prayer,  and  it  means,  put  away  from  us  all 
doubt,  all  distrust,  all  discouragement,  and  establish  us 
in  the  belief  in  the  presence  of  All-Good., 

There  was  once  a  woman  who  demonstrated  just 
what  was  the  belief  that  we  must  have  in  order  to  get 
the  answer  to  our  prayer.  It  is  said  of  her  that  she  was 
blind — totally  without  sight.  She  heard  of  a  man  whose 
prayers  were  healing  all  for  whom  he  prayed,  and  when 
she  heard  of  him  a  strong  faith  arose  in  her  heart  that 
his  prayer  would  heal  her.  Her  faith  was  stupendous, 
and  so  strongly  did  it  possess  her  soul  that  at  last  she  said 
that  she  must  go  to  him.  He  lived  in  a  town  some  miles 
distant — an  obscure  shoemaker  plying  his  trade  daily, 
and  praying  for  all  who  asked  him.  She  went  to  him 
with  a  heart  strong  in  the  belief  that  immediately  after 
his  prayer  she  would  see.  He  prayed.  She  opened 
her  eyes  fully  expecting  to  see,  but  she  did  not.  She 
was  amazed,  stunned — she  could  not  understand  it.

She  left  the  shoemaker  in  a  dazed  state  of  mind,  ponder- 
ing over  the  Master's  words,  "Whatsoever  things  ye 
desire,  pray,  beheving,  and  ye  shall  receive."  All  the 
long  journey  home  she  tried  to  find  wherein  her  faith 
had  been  lacking,  when  suddenly  she  realized  that  her 
believing  had  found  its  Umit  because  of  appearances, 
and  she  had  held  it  only  because  of  something  that  was  to 
come  by  it,  whereas  she  must  have  faith  no  matter  what 
the  appearances,  and  not  be  moved.  So  she  determined 
to  believe  that  God  had  healed  her,  and  she  would  hold 
to  the  thought  "I  can  see"  forever,  and  never  let  ap- 
pearances move  her  from  believing  that  God  had  given 
her  her  sight. 

She  went  home,  and  was  met  by  her  expectant  family, 
to  whose  inquiry  she  answered,  **  I  can  see,"  and  great 
was  their  rejoicing.  But  soon  they  saw  she  was  just 
the  same  after  her  return  as  before  she  went  to  the  healer. 
To  their  questions  as  to  why  she  said  such  things  when 
she  did  not  manifest  sight,  she  replied,  *'  I  am  following 
my  Master's  instructions  to  believe  that  I  have  received 
what  I  desire,  and  I  shall  never  speak  or  act  contrary 

6 


an  CCftiiifffi  are  ^amhlt 

to  what  I  am  determined  to  believe."  So  she  went  on, 
and  would  never  let  any  one  speak  to  her,  or  act  toward 
her  as  though  she  were  bUnd.  At  times  it  seemed 
almost  more  than  she  could  do,  but  never  would  she  be 
moved,  she  declared,  if  she  had  to  go  on  believing  against 
appearances  all  the  rest  of  her  natural  life.  At  times  the 
family  feared  her  mind  had  been  affected,  and  she  had 
much  to  do  to  withstand  their  fears  for  her  sanity. 

One  night  not  very  long  after  her  return  home,  as 
she  was  lying  in  bed  thinking  upon  her  determination 
to  beUeve  in  spite  of  all  opposition,  suddenly  there  was 
a  glimmer  before  her  eyes.  She  leaped  up  in  bed  and 
cried,  "  I  see !  indeed,  I  see !  Bring  a  light,  for  I  do  see." 
The  family  thought,  "Now  she  has  gone  crazy."  But 
they  brought  the  light,  and  she  proved  then  and  there 
that  she  saw,  and  she  has  been  seeing  ever  since. 

That  was  the  faith  she  had  to  manifest — to  know  no 
limit  to  her  faith;   no  appearances  could  cause  her  to 
doubt,  or  to  let  disappointment  or  discouragement  pos- 
sess her  and  displace  her  beautiful  faith. 
(If  you  have  asked  God  for  anything  and  you  have  not

received,  do  not  think  God  refuses  it  to  you.  No,  the 
only  trouble  is  you  have  not  asked  aright.  "Ye  ask, 
and  receive  not,  because  ye  ask  amiss."  God  has  not 
heard  you,  for  it  is  written,  "  God  heareth  not  sinners  " 
— that  is.  He  hears  not  mistaken  prayers. 

Do  not  stop  praying,  but  change  your  prayers.  Pray 
without  ceasing,  pray  in  every  right  way  you  can  think 
of;  at  last  you  will  speak  the  words  that  reach  God, 
the  words  that  are  the  substance  out  of  which  the  answer 
to  your  prayer  is  made.  For  this  is  true:  Out  of  your 
own  words  are  formed  the  manifestation  you  desire  to 
show  forth. 

Never  give  up  praying — ^never  give  up  believing  in 
the  possibility  of  having  that  which  you  desire.  "In- 
crease our  faith."  Increase  our  beliefs  in  the  possi- 
bility of  all  good  things  being  now  manifest.  Break 
down  the  boundaries  of  our  belief.  No  matter  how 
great  our  faith  may  seem  to  be,  make  it  a  little  greater, 
and  then  look  out  that  our  words  and  actions  are  cod- 
sistent  with  what  we  are  determined  to  believe.

Thou  shalt  also  decree  a  thing,  and  it  shall  be  e$^ 
tablished  unto  thee, — Job  xxii:  28. 

All  the  good  that  is  to  be  manifest  in  a  man's  life  is 
already  an  accompKshed  fact  in  the  divine  Mind. 

The  knowledge  of  God  cannot  be  added  to  nor  taken 
away  from,  and  He  knows  all  that  is  to  be  as  that  which 
always  has  been,  and  is  now  the  complete  Truth  of 
Being. 

It  lies  with  Man  to  call  into  manifestation  that  which 
already  is  an  absolute  and  established  creation  in  God. 

Man  is  the  image  and  likeness  of  God,  therefore  he 
is  spiritual  and  perfect.  He,  in  his  true  being,  works 
after  the  same  manner  as  God.  Inspiration  tells  us 
that  God  creates  all  things  by  the  Word  of  his  mouth, 
that  He  says  "Be,"  and  it  is  so. 

Man,  the  Son  of  God,  does  all  things  as  he  sees  his

Father  do,  and  what  he  decrees  comes  to  pass.  When 
he  decrees  healing,  health  springs  forth  speedily;  when 
he  speaks  "Life,"  deadness  disappears;  when  he  de- 
clares the  powerlessness  of  wickedness,  vice  melts  to 
uselessness  before  his  word. 

Because  his  inspiration  is  not  from  flesh  and  blood 
(Matt,  xvi:  17)  but  from  the  Father  within  he  has  the 
key  to  Heaven,  and  he  decrees  a  thing  to  come  to  pass 
upon  the  earth  that  has  already  been  determined  upon 
in  Heaven,  in  accordance  with  the  Christ  prophecy: 
"  And  I  will  give  unto  thee  the  keys  of  the  kingdom  of 
the  heavens;  and  whatsoever  thou  mayest  bind  upon 
the  earth  shall  have  been  bound  in  the  heavens,  and 
whatsoever  thou  mayest  loose  upon  the  earth  shall  have 
been  loosed  in  the  heavens  "  (Matt,  xvi:  19,  Rotherham's 
translation). 

In  ancient  times  the  disciple  who  was  instructed  into 
the  arcana  of  Egyptian  magic  was  told  at  a  certain  stage 
in  his  development  how  to  accomplish  his  wishes  and 
do  wonder-works  by  pronouncing  the  two  little  words: 
"It  is,"    He  was  taught  to  lead  a  very  pure  and  un*.

selfish  life  of  self-control  that  he  might  always  know 
the  will  of  the  gods  and  conform  all  his  wishes  thereto. 

The  man  who  seeks  no  will  but  the  Will  of  the  Great 
God  of  all  can  declare  concerning  any  of  his  desires 
"/<  is''  and  his  words  will  come  true,  for  his  will  is 
omnipotent.  "He  doeth  according  to  his  will  in  the 
army  of  heaven,  and  among  the  inhabitants  of  the  earth: 
and  none  can  stay  his  hand"  (Dan.  iv:  35). 

"The  will  of  the  just  man  is  the  will  of  God."  It 
is  the  desire  of  every  just  man  that  you  shall  have  perfect 
health.  It  is  the  wish  of  good  men  and  women  that  you 
shall  be  free  from  debt,  and  live  in  comfortable  cir- 
cumstances. Every  true  heart  desires  you  to  be  pure 
and  loving,  intelligent  and  free.  It  is  the  will  of  God 
that  you  shall  manifest  every  quality  and  condition  on 
the  earth  that  belong  to  the  Kingdom  of  Heaven. 
".  .  .  God  our  Saviour;  who  will  have  all  men  to 
be  saved,  and  to  come  unto  the  knowledge  of  the  truth" 
(lTim.ii:3,4). 

To  every  such  true  and  good  wish  of  your  heart 
say:  ''It  w."

/  Then  when  you  have  thus  decreed  your  Good,  begin 
to  conduct  yourself  in  speech  and  action  as  though  you 

.  had  already  received  it,  and  it  was  apparent  to  the  eyes 

I  of  all. 

For  your  Word  of  decree  is  just  like  a  seed  which  you 
have  put  into  the  ground,  and  all  that  you  need  to  do  is 
to  keep  it  from  being  trampled  upon  by  doubts  and  fears 
|ind  wOTry,  and  to  see  that  the  sun  and  dew  of  an  active 
faith  nourish  it  until  it  come  to  fruition.  "And  he 
said.  So  is  the  kingdom  of  God,  as  if  a  man  should  cast 
seed  into  the  ground;  and  should  sleep,  and  rise  night 
and  day,  and  the  seed  should  spring  and  grow  up,  he 
knoweth  not  how.  For  the  earth  bringeth  forth  fruit 
of  herself;  first  the  blade,  then  the  ear,  after  that  the 
full  com  in  the  ear.  But  when  the  fruit  is  brought  forth, 
immediately  he  putteth  in  the  sickle,  because  the  harvest 
is  come"  (Mark  iv:  26-29). 

The  tongue  that  can  decree  effectually  never  voices 
an  evil  wish.  Its  words  are  upon  the  good,  the  beauti- 
ful, and  the  true.  It  does  not  describe  disease,  for  "  the 
tongue  of  the  wise  is  health"  (Pro v.  xii:  18).     It  does 

U 


Ci)Ott  ^f)alt  Decree 

not  linger  on  accounts  of  death,  accidents,  poverty,  or 
sins,  for  its  words  are  precious,  since  they  are  to  bring 
to  pass  the  Kingdom  of  Heaven  in  our  midst. 

"  Tliey  that  observe  lying  vanities  forsake  their  own 
mercy"  (Jonah  ii:  8). 

"Speak  ye  every  man  the  truth  to  his  neighbor; 
,  .  .  and  let  none  of  you  imagine  evil  in  your  hearts 
against  his  neighbor"  (Zech.  viii:  16,  17). 

"  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness  against  thy  neigh- 
bor "  is  fulfilled  as  we  do  not  hear  witness  to  the  false  in 
our  neighbor,  but  talk  only  of  the  true.  The  object 
of  this  commandment  is  to  train  the  speech  of  the  as- 
pirant to  heavenly  powers  so  that  his  words  will  never 
curse  the  earth,  but  every  word,  though  not  a  conscious 
decree,  shall  bless  by  simply  being  uttered. 

"By  the  establishment  of  truthfulness,  the  yogi  gets 
the  power  of  attaining  for  himself  and  others  the  fruits 
of  work  without  the  works"  (Yoga  Aphorisms  of 
Patanjali),  and  commenting  upon  this  Swami  Vive- 
kananda  says :  "  When  this  power  of  truth  will  be  estab- 
lished with  you,  then  even  in  dream  you  will  never  tell

an  untruth;  in  thought,  word  or  deed,  whatever  you 
say  will  be  truth.  You  may  say  to  a  man  '  Be  blessed,' 
and  that  man  will  be  blessed.  If  a  man  is  diseased,  and 
you  say  to  him,  '  Be  thou  cured,'  he  will  be  cured  im- 
mediately." 

"So  shall  my  word  be  that  goeth  forth  out  of  my 
mouth:  it  shall  not  return  unto  me  void,  but  it  shall 
accomplish  that  which  I  please,  and  it  shall  prosper 
in  the  thing  whereto  I  sent  it "  (Is.  Iv:  11). 

"If  ye  abide  in  me,  and  my  words  abide  in  you,  ye 
shall  ask  what  ye  will,  and  it  shall  be  done  unto  you. 
Herein  is  my  Father  glorified,  that  ye  bear  much  fruit; 
so  shall  ye  be  my  disciples  "  (John  xv:  7,  8). 

Dwell  continually  in  the  consciousness  of  being  the 
Son  of  the  Most  High,  and  let  your  mouth  be  filled  with 
good  words,  both  audible  and  silent.  Then  glorify 
God  by  bringing  forth  fruits  of  healing  of  yourself  and 
others,  of  sinless  living,  of  peace,  prosperity,  and  happi- 
ness for  all  through  your  silent,  immutable  decrees.
